On April 15, 2024, the Harvey Cedars Borough Commissioners presented a resolution to the Sisters of Charity and the Maris Stella Retreat & Conference Center to honor their 65 years of service to the community.  Mayor John M. Imperiale presented the resolution to Sister Maureen Shaughnessy, SC, General Superior.  Imperiale said, “The Maris Stella Retreat & Conference Center represents the best of Harvey Cedars.  It is an integral part of our community.  It is, as all things Harvey Cedars, peaceful and beautiful, and we are lucky that the Sisters of Charity are here to serve our residents and visitors.  Sixty-five years is not enough.  We need them here forever!”
